2026 Old North State Story Telling Festival: Sensory Friendly Showcase

Join us for our two-day festival to experience the power of live storytelling. Four acclaimed storytellers will present stories and music to entertain and warm your heart. During this 90-minute sensory friendly showcase, our theater will welcome a maximum of 75 guests, allowing for extra space and a calmer environment. The theater will remain gently lit rather than fully dark, and sound levels will be slightly softer to create a more comfortable experience. A designated break area will also be available, where the performance will be streamed on a TV, so no one misses a moment. This showcase is designed to be movement-friendly and relaxed. Audience members are welcome to wiggle, shift, and express themselves without the expectation of complete silence. The stories will be short, accompanied by visual aids and interaction with the storytellers.
